When presenting the Spanish ladies with their WC winners medals he kissed one of them on the lips. Obviously not ok but he has apologised. I’m not sure on how upset the player was about it.

Was it a creepy, overpowering OTT man kiss, or a warm Spanishy friendly kiss and he's misread the current times? Seems odd he would try and be a creep in front of a crowd of 1000's.

Seems odd he would try and be a creep in front of a crowd of 1000's. Any kiss on the lips is creepy if it’s not a direct family member (and for some past VTers, even that’s creepy). Part of the issue is he said it was consensual whereas the recipient said it wasn’t. There is also the issue of him grabbing his crotch in celebration whilst stood next to the queen of Spain and her daughter. Edited August 25, 2023 by choffer Royal bloodline mixup.

andym Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 He doesn't seem too contrite. 1 hour ago, TheAuthority said: Was it a creepy, overpowering OTT man kiss, or a warm Spanishy friendly kiss and he's misread the current times?

Given he decided to act like he did even taking account of the excitement of the moment, and then to double down after, he's quite clearly a word removed.

Demitri_C Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 As far as i am aware she hasnt made a formal complaint. If she has then different story. I think if he just apologised and given a warning then thats fair punishment. Sacking for me is abit extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Entire Spanish team have refused to play again until Rubiales resigns. It’s only a matter of time now then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d be out the door if you did it at work. It’s no different for this person. Not to mention he did it whilst the world was watching. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think saying sorry and moving on isn’t the answer here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sex of the perpetrator makes no difference to the situation, not sure how that is relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 My dad passed away this week after a short battle with cancer. I’m trying to be pragmatic, but I don’t quite know what I’m supposed to do. I think I am coming across as cold to it all but I’m trying to just work it all out. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean i know lifes different to how it use to be when i was 18-19 but we use to go for the pull with women. We didnt ask for their consent as such if we got chatting to a woman and you felt time was dight you would go for the kill. If the women didnt want to kiss you she was pull back. I appreciate this is obviously a complete different situation from pulling a woman on a night out. im just saying you dont "ask a woman for a kiss" you just go for it when you feel that chemistry. This guys obviously got too excited and acted unprofessionally. If she is deeply upset about it then he has to go as its setting a bad example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it a day at a time and take any support offered by a close one or family? There is no right or wrong on how to behave. Take care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
